There exists a need for high performance, read-only mainmemory database systems for OLAP-style application scenarios. Most of the existing works in this area are centered around t...
In this paper we explore database segmentation in the context of a column-store DBMS targeted at a scientific database. We present a novel hardware- and scheme-oblivious segmentati...
Low-rank approximations of the adjacency matrix of a graph are essential in finding patterns (such as communities) and detecting anomalies. Additionally, it is desirable to track ...
There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perfor...
We present the Auckland Layout Model (ALM), a constraint-based technique for specifying 2D layout as it is used for arranging the controls in a GUI. Most GUI frameworks offer layo...
